The problem may be that it does not recognize SD HC cards in the Recovery Mode, although it works fine under normal phone operation. I had the same issue with a 8GB card. Than I put back the 2GB card that I got with the phone and Recovery Mode recognized that.

ok, one more question. I want cwm to format my sd card so that I can increase my internal ph. memory. I saw a video in youtube where a guy is formatting his sd from recovery mode (ext2, ext3). thats why I need cwm, am I doing right?
Last time when I formatted my sd card in xp, it was not detected by phone, so I thought sd will be detected only if phone format it. am I right?
